The federal government must revisit its approval of a popular weed-killer, court says

  • A Federal Court judge ruled that the federal government must reassess its 2022 approval of glyphosate, stating the original approval was unreasonable according to Justice Russell Zinn.
  • Health Canada has been given six months to reevaluate the health risks of glyphosate after failing to consider new scientific evidence related to its safety.
